Smaller piglets have a lower chance of survival. You might try bringing it inside so it can be warm and not bossed, then take it out for visitations to nurse. This can increase the odds of it getting to a size it can survive at and compete for nipples. If you have another sow farrow you might move a weak pig to the new sow so it is with piglets closer to its size.
You may lose it. There is generally a good reason such as congenital defects that piglets are born dead, die soon after birth or are small. Not everyone is perfect.
I would have skipped teeth cutting as it stresses them. We don't cut teeth, tails or castrate. All of these can stress and kill piglets. Ear notching too but less so.
